title: Sclerosing stromal tumor of the ovary. Report of eight cases and review of the literature.
abstract: In this article, we describe eight cases of sclerosing stromal tumors (SST) of the ovary and review the literature. We could not demonstrate unequivocal hormonal activity in any of the cases, although suggestive evidence for it has been reported in the literature in the form of clinical, histologic, electron microscopic and immunohistochemical findings.
